Hello,

Just thought I'd drop a note about my success with using NetBSD's NIS
server with Debian's NIS client.  The NIS Server is NetBSD/i386 1.6 and the
client is Debian/i386 3.0r1.  Both systems were configured at installation
to use MD5 passwords.


On the Debian side, "apt-get install nis" asked for the domain.
But I had to specify the NIS server by editting /etc/yp.conf


On the NetBSD side, I had to edit /var/yp/domainname/Makefile.
# diff Makefile.orig Makefile
53c53
< all: passwd aliases ${AMDMAPS} ethers group hosts ipnodes netgroup
networks rpc services protocols netid
---
> all: passwd aliases ${AMDMAPS} ethers group hosts ipnodes netgroup
networks rpc services protocols netid shadow


Thanks for the good work!

Ben
